Excerpts by topic
AI-read · unreviewed37 mentions; quotes verbatim from the captions or agenda, chosen by a model, unchecked by a personcall up have you call up 5675 arapo um life science building no parking reductions
this to me looks like an office building in cognito uh the parking reduction as light as it is also kind of symbolizes that
The Proposal is subject to the regulations and review process of the form-based code
the subject site is located in North Boulder it encompasses the former Boulder Community Hospital site between Broadway and 9th
so the form-based code area is in red overall project boundaries in white
Federal low-income housing tax credit regulations require that residents must have access to a parking space with their deed restricted unit
allows for other City Planning projects in the Civic area to advance
the top picture is showing both the Pavilion building and the garage basically looking Due West from across Broadway
So currently there's one 13 do B cycle station at Alpine uh between Broadway and 13th three more are proposed
staff finds of the project is consistent with the Boulder Valley comp plan land use map and on balance with the goals and policies
it allows the city manager to not require unbundled parking if it conflicts with the ability to get low-income housing tax credit funding
authorizing a waiver of unbundled parking requirement for certain litech funded permanently affordable housing projects
it also supports the comp plan's affordable housing goals by authorizing a waiver of unbundled parking requirement
the city has partnered with uh Boulder housing Partners to co-develop the site and so the applicants are the city and Boulder housing Partners
you know who BHP serves and really what we're going to be able to achieve at this site
just a reminder uh about the form based code regulating plan and the prescriptive nature of the form based code
there is uh accessible parking to the west of B3 and then in building c one of the things
affordable buildings will be Net Zero ready and we're trying to optimize natural light by keeping our building
the gain here is that we really get a big benefit on the projects embodied carbon impacts
this is reinforced by the use of uh public art certainly looking at our our us of the 1% for art program
developed a a graphic story a mural if you will that extends inside and out of the building
right now there's head in accessible parking um on the same side of the street as the mobility Hub
I know that the mobility Hub has areas for um lime scooters and this I know it's a little bit of an education
within a mandatory parking Zone we create what we call lime Groves which are designated areas typically with a painted rectangle
of BHP uh units allow for uh rewards for those that would uh arrive uh without a car
we don't really look at the groundwater recharge we look at the surface water
the six parking spaces being provided were deemed by the applicant team to be of Greater benefit
but in the TDM plan it says you're expecting a 30% reduction are those the same number
we could raise that mill rate to collect additional property taxes to provide additional benefits
this is my particular Obsession about efficient um and and intuitive pedestrian connections especially for people with disabilities
to make it reflect our transportation master plan and our vision zero goals and so on
is that really what our bold Valley comp plan says I don't think so
I would also recommend that as part of that motion you ask that plans be revised to um to show retaining of that commercial space
adding back in commercial space comes with its own parking requirements
you could say a retail space of equal or greater size or something like that or a commercial space
it says the owner of any property that has a travel demand management plan
methods for determining how programs and Facilities impact trip generation rates methods of evaluating approved travel demand management plans
